Hello All,

Im a 20 year old with private pilot Airplane single engine land. I just got my rating in november 2007. It feels great. I fly as often as I can, and I'm planning on working m way up to the airlines. I'd also like to be a CFI.

Thanks for having me

Ahh, VA Beach, where landfills become recreation areas.

Welcome to the board. You in the military?

Very funny and true! Welcome to the board, you ever eat at Doumar's?

At which flight school did you get your PPL? The owner of Tidewater Flight Center at CPK occasionally does trips for our company in our Cirrus when I'm out of town; that is if PuddleJumper here can't fill in for us

. Did your CFI ever torture you with a landing at Hummel Field (W75)? If you can land there, you can land anywhere.

Welcome aboard.

I got my ppl at Horizon Aviation at KCPK. Great school, and I had an awesome CFI. Im trying to see if i can get a loan to get more ratings. I want to get instrument, Multi engine, commercial, and CFI/CFII. If i get them fast enough, i most likely could instruct at Horizon, they are expanding and need alot more CFI's

And by the way Doug, This site is awesome. Very informative and motivating material here.

Thanx

Heres some pix from my flight today. I had my brother with me and he took some pix of our touch and go's at KORF.

Class C is fun.

Cool pix. What time did you come through? We departed at about 4:30 pm in the Lear, southbound. Send me a PM next time you're planning on heading to ORF. If I'm around, I'll pay your ramp fee and give you a tour of the airplane if you'd like.

What a coincidence! I departed Chesapeake at about 4:05, and went straight to KORF. I was 3504Lima, and i was on tower freq for a while, i did about 6 touch and go's. then i was with departure for a few mins after that. What was your callsign?
